Well, I remember what you told me Said drinking was unholy So lord, can you point me to the creek And I still keep it with me Tucked under all the memories Your voice echoing throughout the trees And through unfavored weather And holes in the leather These boots still covered in tar Well I'm praying to the heavens And hoping for them sevens But hope only gets a man so far When this game of life plays heavy on my heart And love is tough, but lonliness is twice as hard And I’ll carry that ’bout everywhere I go They say pressure makes diamonds How the hell am I still coal Now I’ve seen heaven without dying Met the devil without trying And they both seem to want to talk to me But I'm all out of luck now And my dreams aren’t worth a buck How it’s tough trying to land on my feet When this game of life plays heavy on my heart And love is tough, but lonliness is twice as hard And I’ll carry that ’bout everywhere I go They say pressure makes diamonds How the hell am I still coal Every day is getting colder Since that day in October When you told me it was over, so I left ‘Cause if you need me, well I told ya I'm on the better side of sober Trying to find a four leaf clover To get me out of this mess This game of life plays heavy on my heart And love is tough, but lonliness is twice as hard And I’ll carry that ’bout everywhere I go They say pressure makes diamonds How the hell This game of life plays heavy on my heart And love is tough, but lonliness is twice as hard And I’ll carry that ’bout everywhere I go They say pressure makes diamonds How the hell am I still coal
